The most amusing quote about the UAE port thing:

[xiphias]

Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley says, "We want to turn over the Port of Baltimore, the home of the Star Spangled Banner, to the United Arab Emirates? Not so long as I'm mayor and not so long as I have breath in my body."

Um, dude? Right now, the folks controlling the home of the Star Spangled Banner are the British, the folks that were shelling Fort McHenry when Francis Scott Key wrote that poem.
